Mirrors my life man, got it in1980, not much money but their name seduced me. I'm 58, lying on the couch with this album on. Reading the lyrics while listening to these sounds is sublime, like touching something untouchable...... We all dream
I'm a huge Furs fan, but until last month I hadn't purchased their debut album... How the hell could I have never heard of this song? It is fantastic!!!
If it wasn’t for the blacks in the south, my fathers refrigerator factory would have closed down. I remember writing down all the lyrics when I was supposed to be studying
Blacks / Radio (Lyrics) The Psychedelic Furs Sick of the sex and the sound of the cars And saying the words in elleptical barb Dancing can be such attraction when everbody is doing the fraction When I went for a job I had to trade in my hair And think of ideas in a larker knoll chair If it wasn't for the blacks in the south my fathers refrigerator factory would close down Denise is such a dream, let her, in the crutch of her knee, ler her, on the couch of Police, let her. I feel just like money, I feel just like money inside and the women turn blue at around 45 The stupid and the stupid and the infantile, listen to records with the A-bomb hairstyle, RADIO, you were at the Relais in a shirt and tie You cut your hair with a scissor at the Hotel Relais Jealous trees call you Denise even the trees seem to whisper Denis. I'll love you till the world stops spinning. I'll love you till the world stops slimming. Doing the radio. People go to parties in a shirt and tie. The stupid and the stupid and the meaningless drivel. The stupid and the people and the meaningless lyric. Happens to people when they do the hands and knees. Jealous trees call you Deni - even the trees seem to whisper Deni I'll love till the world stops spinning I'll love till the world stops slimming Get a car and do the twist Paint it blue and do the dog Twist Composers: The Psychedelic Furs
Strangely, I can swear that even though I had the British version of this LP (no "Susan's Strange" or "Soap Commercial"), this song was not on it. It may just be that 1981 (when I got this) was a _long_ time ago.
This is special. The Warhol quote. Butler's genius in writing lyrics w/ a cut and paste, recycling of " talk" or conversation, plagiarism of the media and the illogical social constructs in politics and of course beauty .
@@SKYSAW59 yeah we're cursed with a failed politician...instead of a crybaby manbaby wannabe dictator...president *as on everything but roller stakes :)
I got this album when I was a teenager and I listen to it still . I'm 58 now.

I got it in my early twenties, I guess, I'm 64 now. Still a spectacular underrated album.
I'm fifty five now and . ........ Fuck yeah !!!!!
@@simonefranks7706 We aren't finished yet. We can still dance.
I'm 57 now... I'm still 17 after seeing them live last night.
That segue from Blacks into Radio... fucking hell!
Pure genius!
At 4.0... Holy shit!!
Never fails to send shivers after 40 odd years.
This tune is absolutely brilliant... Richard Butler was a painter before he was a lyricist, and these lyrics form a painting on canvas.
Yeah he's good at that, creating scenes with solid images using just a few words, then onto the next scene...elipitical bars...
2024 and the Furs still dominate ... IMHO. Happy New Year to all. One week done.
I picked up this LP second hand at Paddington Markets in Sydney Australia in 1981 when I was 20. Still love it to death.
im 54 gonna see them next month royal albert hall , 40yrs ago bought the tape , long gone haha
I'm a huge Furs fan, but until last month I hadn't purchased their debut album... How the hell could I have never heard of this song? It is fantastic!!!
Yeah it is isn't it , its my fav by them
This was not on the original US pressing.
@@davidellis5141 Yeah, I have this album and its not on it.. never heard it before actually. Its ok, I guess. Little too jazzy for me.

Best non 4ad band I've seen live, so kooool.
Nice.
This is one of the best songs ever written, takes me on an amazing journey, and Richard's voice ... blows me away every time.

.
LOVE THIS SONG. QUINTESSENTIAL Pycho Furs
Awesome track when I first heard this at 16 & still the same 40 years later
A GREAT,GREAT unknown song by the FURS!!!!!!!!
Not nearly loud enough on UA-cam......you gotta break windows with this song
Very true
good old days !! 😢
I wish could explain just how much mojo this song gave me, one a few that are my inspiration for achieving all, and the theme tune
Blacks / Radio (Lyrics)
The Psychedelic Furs
Sick of the sex and the sound of the cars
And saying the words in elleptical barb
Dancing can be such attraction when everbody is doing the fraction
When I went for a job I had to trade in my hair
And think of ideas in a larker knoll chair
If it wasn't for the blacks in the south my fathers refrigerator factory would close down
Denise is such a dream, let her, in the crutch of her knee, ler her, on the couch of Police, let her.
I feel just like money, I feel just like money inside and the women turn blue at around 45
The stupid and the stupid and the infantile, listen to records with the A-bomb hairstyle,
RADIO, you were at the Relais in a shirt and tie
You cut your hair with a scissor at the Hotel Relais
Jealous trees call you Denise even the trees seem to whisper Denis.
I'll love you till the world stops spinning. I'll love you till the world stops slimming.
Doing the radio.
People go to parties in a shirt and tie. The stupid and the stupid and the meaningless drivel.
The stupid and the people and the meaningless lyric. Happens to people when they do the hands and knees. Jealous trees call you Deni - even the trees seem to whisper Deni
I'll love till the world stops spinning
I'll love till the world stops slimming
Get a car and do the twist
Paint it blue and do the dog
Twist
Composers: The Psychedelic Furs
Its "Parker knoll chair" its a brand of furniture in the UK.
People go to parties and they get a wife.
Always thought it was 'when I went for a job I had toothpaste in my hair !
Always thought it said and I went for a job with toothpaste in my hair 😮
How have I managed to get through until now without realising this amazing toon existed?
Not on the original US release.
Amazing song.
Wish I could find a video of this live. Can you even imagine? 🥰
Real cool time.
"I love you till the world stops spinning."

Listen to those records with the A-Bomb hairstyle

*American Politics in a Nutshell now-a-days!*
Thanks to The African Americans in Georgia who voted out Trump.
So they were predictably dumb enough not to vote for Trump.. And now look what the world is cursed with.
@@SKYSAW59 yeah we're cursed with a failed politician...instead of a crybaby manbaby wannabe dictator...president *as on everything but roller stakes :)
@@edwintorres7397 Trump looks more Godlike every day. US is now, officially a fkin laughing stock 🤣🤣🤣
@@SKYSAW59 Looking Gooflike more like it...his own goons will jump ship soon enuf.
@@edwintorres7397 Trump accomplished more in 4 years than Dopebummer did in 8
of course the second half is a Roxy Music rip off/Tribute???
The whole song sounds like The Velvet Underground, The Stooges, Roxy Music, and John Lydon formed some kind of supergroup. And I absolutely love it.
@@djstarsign now go to 'remake re-model' Roxy Music
